Owain Mulligan: The Accidental Soldier

Former British army troop leader Owain Mulligan describes his time in the army as a hobby that got out of control. A teacher by trade, Owain joined the Territorial Army as an outlet and something to do on the weekends. Little did he know, the training would lead him to Iraq – not just as a soldier but leading a fighting troop. Owain kept a diary during his seven months in Iraq – he’s now turned those writings into a book, The Accidental Soldier. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
